“Route inspired by Paris - Dakar rally fused with Courland region's gems. With snacks, of course.”
Just like the rally ended at the Westernmost tip of Africa, this route will end at Latvia's Westernmost point along the Baltic coast. Along the way you'll visit Paris as well. Some say you might even spot the Eiffel tower.
